* Cue bid

At the table West won trick three with clubQ and continued spades. Rixi won in hand, crossed to dummy's club9 with the seven and ruffed another low diamond. Trumps were drawn, and dummy's three winning diamonds provided homes for all declarer's heart losers.

Bravo, although some killjoy wondered if it would have been 0.1% better to ruff at trick two with the club10 or clubJ and follow with club4 at trick three. This would force an extra entry to dummy to cater for when a defender started with clubQxxx and ducked the first trump.
